There is no question of discouragement. Now these books I have read, either Bengali or Hindi, they are well-written, very convincing. All our books are convincing.


Morning Room Conversation -- February 16, 1977, Mayapura:

Prabhupāda: Yes. This I want to increase more and more. No money in the bank. In the books. And as long there will be stock of book which has to be sold. Otherwise I will starve. (chuckling) That I want.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That will force the book sales to increase. The manager . . .

Prabhupāda: You may take it as business or whatever you like. I am not taking anything. You are selling five to six lakhs daily?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes.

Prabhupāda: So my royalty would have been one lakh, fifty thousand daily. Big authors, they take twenty-five percent. So that is not the ambition, but my ambition is these books shall be sold. That's all. Whole . . . every house should have our books—every gentleman, any language, it doesn't matter. That is our propaganda. Now you are getting all languages, so we can capture the whole world.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Increase the book sales more and more.

Prabhupāda: And we are getting success at that. There is no question of discouragement.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Especially here in India it's becoming more and more encouraging.

Prabhupāda: Now these books I have read, either Bengali or Hindi, they are well written, very convincing. All our books are convincing.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This is a very handsome type of binding. It's called . . . I'm not sure who has done . . . I think the libraries do. It's called "Perma-Bound" It's your pocketbook edition but bound into a hard cover. Very handy book.

Prabhupāda: Recent publication?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I don't . . . I'm not . . . I don't think that actually the BBT did this binding. This is done by someone else, but somehow I managed . . . it was in my office, so I brought it with me. But it's very nice to get the small pocket-size book but with a hard cover. For traveling it's very handy. On the back it gives mention inside of . . . what the binding is.

Prabhupāda: Where it is done?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: In USA. "Perma-Bound" it's called.

Hari-śauri: That's like that plastic cover-type stuff.

Prabhupāda: It is half-bound.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, that is the thing.

Prabhupāda: Yes, yes.

Hari-śauri: What they've done is they've taken off the paper cover, this pink, and they just hardbound it . . .

Prabhupāda: Softbound.

Hari-śauri: . . . and slip it back on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And plastic.

Hari-śauri: And plastic over the top.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Very, very nice.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Wonderful book, Nectar of Devotion.

Prabhupāda: Every book is. Teachings of Lord Caitanya, Nectar of Devotion. Whichever one he will read, he will become Kṛṣṇa conscious.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Your early book . . . (break)

Prabhupāda: And then Kṛṣṇa, then Bhāgavatam, then Caitanya-caritāmṛta. Simply development.
